    Schroedinger's Wounding (Forked Thread: Disappointed in 4e)

    Just say he was stabbed. If he fails the saving throw, he got hit in the lungs or something and died. If he rolled a 20, it missed anything vital and he manages to get up and struggle on. Or he took a blow to the head and passed out. Maybe he wakes up (a 20) or maybe he starts bleeding from...

    Character Builder Beta available

    Right-click. It negates the need for the confirm option. I assume if it had a manual or readme it would mention this somewhere. Hopefully the full version will have something like that.

    Character Builder Beta available

    It could use an export function. They mentioned something about a forum code output, but only as a summary. I'd like a full text output, for sharing over things like simple email or something.

    Swordmage Dimensional Dodge question

    That's my problem with it, too. If you still took damage, it should be a Reaction. The only difference between Reaction and Interrupt is that an Interrupt can negate attacks, so if doesn't negate attacks, why isn't it a Reaction?

    Ampersand: The Bard (merged)

    The problem with using healing powers during a rest is they can only be used, what, once (or twice maybe) every five minutes? So you have to take several short rests. And then the power is used up, so you have to rest AGAIN to recharge your healing power. You could be talking about 4 or 5...

    Ampersand: The Bard (merged)

    I am now looking forward to a Bard/Warlock/Wizard multiclass. Charisma primary, Con/Int secondary, using wands. I do wonder, though, how the Bard interacts with Paragon multiclassing. I'd assume you just pick one class to use. I also wonder if the Bard might get any sort of special Paragon...

    Bard is spoiled!

    Doesn't say they can use multiple power swap feats. Wanna bet they still can only swap out three powers, just from different classes? Also, anyone else notice the three main Bard stats being Cha, Int, and Con means they have one stat in each defense?

    Cantrips and Wizard Multiclassing

    Because using one of the power swap feats, said fighter can learn to cast Fireball just as well as a wizard? It's a bit silly I can learn any normal wizard spell, no matter how powerful, but I can't use the cantrips that every wizard learns as an apprentice, the simplest of spells.

    Transposing Lunge / Generating a miss with interrupts

    Dimensional Dodge is wacky. I think it doesn't negate the attack (no matter the flavor) because moving doesn't negate a ranged attack. I teleport adjacent, but they can still attack me. Or... maybe not, since you might assume they can't change targets after starting. And I still think...

    Ability Score Blues

    I would never take a 20 personally. The +1 is just completely useless. The only time that would help, haha, is when my to hit roll is off by 1. Typically, this doesn't happen to me. If I need say, 17 to hit, I usually don't get a 16 and then curse the fact I didn't take a 20 in my attack...

    Transposing Lunge / Generating a miss with interrupts

    I believe that's wrong. An Interrupt can negate an attack, if it does something that would invalidate the attack. It's an Reaction that can't negate attacks. So, what happens is: 1- Mob rolls for hit 2- Player is hit 3- Interrupt teleports the mob to the swordmage 3- Mod is out of melee range...

    Do vulnerabilities stack?

    Isn't that just how it worked before errata or something?

    [Dragon] Gladiators: We who are about to die...

    In my last session the DM critical hit me something like 5 times. At least once, he rolled a 20, and then rolled again to see what would happen. Another 20.

    Swordmage Feats

    Reviving a second page thread to ask, does this seem viable? I'm not sure about my power selection, but I'm fairly satisfied with my ability scores. I'm obviously going for Wandering Swordmage, which is why I dropped Dex. And my PP is more important, I feel, than going for HBO/Arcane Reach...

    CS response to Dying Condition question

    I ran into this at my last session. I was dying and at -11, and would have died at -14. Sadly, ongoing damage was going to be 5, which meant I'd die on my next turn. My DM let me spend an AP to delay my turn. (Nice of him.) I didn't like the character though, so I think I'm going to...

    Sustaining a power provokes OAs?

    A move or standard can be used as a minor... but a minor is always a minor. I didn't know offhand there were minor attacks that could provoke, but I'd still make the argument to my DM.

    Sustaining a power provokes OAs?

    I'd argue that sustaining doesn't provoke because it's a minor action. If my action is well, 'minor' enough that it's not even a standard action, then it doesn't seem like it would leave me open to an OA.

    Swordmage Feats

    Not bad of a setup, although dumping Wis does mean giving up Wandering Swordmage. Which is odd, because you take the class to 11th, so what PP should he be taking? And does it work with other races? I know it doesn't with human, since you only get the one racial bonus.

    Swordmage Feats

    Except there are more weapon based feats than implement ones. And things like Raging Storm or Astral Fire work on the weapon ones, too. (Doesn't solve the MAD problem, either, since they all require 13 in various stats) With the exception of Arcane Reach (which takes DEX again), exactly what...
